Vertical Air Cell Technology

Star cushions feature vertical air cell technology designed specifically for individuals at high risk of pressure injuries. Star’s interconnected vertical air cell design ensures internal cell pressures equalise as the user sits in the cushion. The vertical air cell construction also effectively reduces surface tension and enables excellent envelopment.

Interconnecting Air Cells

Star’s interconnected vertical air cell design ensures internal cell pressures equalise as the user sits in the cushion. This equalisation of cell pressures automatically moves air away from high-pressure points and continues as the user moves in their seat. Star’s vertical air cell construction also effectively reduces surface tension and enables excellent envelopment.

Adjustment to the Individual

The continuous adjustment possibilities of Star, coupled with cell height options up to 13 cm, enables optimal immersion for every body shape and size. That is, where the user is immersed as much as possible with minimized risk of bottoming due to normal movement, e.g., weight shifting. The adjustable nature of the cushions makes Star
cushions suitable for users of any body size, shape, or weight.
